The lack of updates on this here website is directly proportional to the amount of family obligations and my work work load. I barely managed to post images in the last couple of days. I hope I’ll at least be able to finish the March review post soon. 🤞
TLDR; Hold down the “Mode” and “Zoom” buttons during startup to do a reset.
On my way to Zürich (via Basel) to meet Claudio. We do this every couple of months to get on the same page and talk shop. Despite communicating every day it’s important to do thi in-person meetings every once in a while. Also: A welcome change of scenery (it has been a while) which should hopefully result in some different photos from the usual.
Stuff that happened in February.
Had an interesting discussion earlier during the first KrautPress Website Club meetup about integrating your blog into the fediverse.
I originally planned to post regular updates about my Linux experiment. I should not make such promises. But I can report, that I am quite happy with Ubuntu and the ThinkPad so far. I have been using it exclusively to do all of my work for the last couple of weeks. I think, I even might like the keyboard better, than the MacBook’s. The webcam is pretty shit, though. Anything photography-related still requires me to use the Mac, and as I mentioned before, this is not going to change any time soon. But all considered, it is nice to know that relying on 100% free and open source software (and a comparatively cheap laptop) will allow me to do my job just fine.
I am one email away of sending anything mentioning „LinkedIn“ straight to the spam folder.
I recently asked around for links to 365 photography projects and I got some feedback. (🙏 Thanks for that!)
I collected them on this page: https://florianziegler.com/365-projects
I am still looking for more projects. Please share if know any!
Just realized, since I have all the colors in CSS custom properties it is pretty easy to create new color schemes for the blog: How about hot pink, purple or jungle? (Reset to b/w with the theme switcher controls at the bottom. 👇)
Yiğit has written a lovely post about how I inspired him to start his photo blog! 🥹 We met at WordCamp Europe in Turin last year, although very briefly at a bus stop on our way home. Check out his blog, where he’s currently doing a 365 project. Oh, and he also has a stats page!
